Sea Surface Temperature: From Observation to Applications [PDF]
This book covers a broad range of sea surface temperature studies from very different points of view and scales; the SST is observed from very local to regional and oceanic scales.

Long-term sea surface temperature variability in the Aegean Sea [PDF]
The inter-annual/decadal scale variability of the Aegean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is investigated by means of long-term series of satellite-derived and in situ data. Monthly mean declouded SST maps are constructed over the 1985–2008 period, based on

A global climatology of the diurnal variations in sea-surface temperature and implications for MSU temperature trends [PDF]
A global climatology of diurnal variations in sea-surface temperature based on in situ drifting-buoy data has been created. The diurnal warming signal derived from these data correlates well with estimates from a version of the Stuart-Menteth (2004 ...

Retrievals of sea surface temperature from infrared imagery: origin and form of systematic errors [PDF]
We show that retrievals of sea surface temperature from satellite infrared imagery are prone to two forms of systematic error: prior error (familiar from the theory of atmospheric sounding) and error arising from nonlinearity.

Sea surface temperatures of the western Arabian Sea during the last deglaciation. [PDF]
In this study we present a sea surface temperature (SST) record from the western Arabian Sea for the last 20,000 years. We produced centennial-scale d18O and Mg/Ca SST time series of core NIOP929 with focus on the glacial-interglacial transition.

Improved analyses of changes and uncertainties in sea surface temperature measured in situ sice the mid-nineteenth century: The HadSST2 dataset [PDF]
A new flexible gridded dataset of sea surface temperature (SST) since 1850 is presented and its uncertainties are quantified. This analysis [the Second Hadley Centre Sea Surface Temperature dataset (HadSST2)] is based on data contained within the ...

Retrieval of sea surface temperature from space based on modeling of infrared radiative transfer: capabilities and limitations [PDF]
The retrieval (estimation) of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from space-based infrared observations is increasingly performed using retrieval coefficients derived from radiative transfer simulations of top-of-atmosphere brightness temperatures (BTs ...

Can uncertainties in sea ice albedo reconcile patterns of data-model discord for the Pliocene and 20th/21st centuries? [PDF]
General Circulation Model simulations of the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP, 3.264 to 3.025 Myr ago) currently underestimate the level of warming that proxy data suggest existed at high latitudes, with discrepancies of up to 11°C for sea surface ...

Toward the elimination of bias in satellite retrievals of skin sea surface temperature. 2: Comparison with in situ measurements [PDF]
We test a new scheme for retrieving skin sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from brightness temperatures observed by the satellite-borne along-track scanning radiometer (ATSR).
